DGN Marching Band Alumni Making An Impact

The Marching Illini Clarinet Section (including DGN Alumni Aidan Purcell & Hannah Thomson) celebrate the Illini's historic comeback victory over MSU during their road trip to East Lansing, MI.

DGN Trojan Marching Band Alumni continue to contribute musically to dozens of college marching bands across the United States. This weekend was certainly no exception as the Purdue University All-American Marching Band visited Northwestern University, the Marching Illini collaborated with the Michigan State University Marching Band (in an impressive halftime show that shared drill formations with both bands on the field at the same time), and the University of Alabama Million Dollar Marching Band was featured on ESPN's College GameDay broadcast.

The University of Alabama "Million Dollar Marching Band" (with DGN Alumnus Margaret Lyons, piccolo) is featured on the ESPN College GameDay broadcast.

DGN Band Alumni Aidan Purcell & Kaylee McCarthy reunite for a combined halftime performance at Michigan State University.
